Episode 205: Disease Waits for No One

<p dir="ltr">In "Disease Waits for No One," Dr. Osterholm and Chris Dall discuss how a federal judge temporarily blocked Health Secretary RFK Jr's rollback of childhood vaccine recommendations. Has the damage of this administration's assault on US vaccine policy already been done? Or is there a chance it could be undone? They'll also dive into a report calling for sweeping changes to how the government tracks COVID vaccine harms, review a recent meningitis outbreak in the UK, cover the latest on measles and avian flu, and answer a listener's question about the risk of catching COVID in public. Plus, we'll bring you the latest respiratory illness update and another public health history segment honoring Women's History Month. <br><br><a href=" official COVID death tolls may have undercounted by 19%</strong></a> (CIDRAP)<br><br><a href=" Uncertain victories mustn’t distract us from staying focused on defending health</strong></a> (CIDRAP and The Vaccine Integrity Project)<br><br><a href=" COVID variant with immune escape potential confirmed in US, 22 other countries </strong></a>(CIDRAP) <br><br><a href=" records avian flu in northern elephant seals </strong></a>(CIDRAP)<br><br><a href=" My Babies </em></a>(Georgia Department of Health)<br> </p> <p>Resources for vaccine and public health advocacy:</p> <p><a href=" for Vaccines</strong></a></p> <p><a href=" Fighting Flu</strong></a></p> <p><a href=" Your Family</strong></a></p> <p><a href=" <p><a href=" Reserve Corps</strong></a></p> <p>Learn more about the <a href=" Integrity Project</strong></a></p> <p><a href=" EPISODES</strong></a>      </p> <p><a href=" THIS PODCAST</strong></a></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Music:</strong></p> <p>"Beauty Flow" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)<br>Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License</p>
